Gene hunt: can DNA predict best time for baby eye surgery?

NCT ID NCT06614335

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study follows 300 children with congenital esotropia (crossed eyes from birth) who had corrective surgery. Researchers will analyze their genes and medical images to see how genetics and the timing of surgery affect eye alignment and the development of 3D vision. The goal is to find personalized treatment strategies to improve outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors personalize surgery timing for children with congenital esotropia, potentially improving long-term eye alignment and depth perception.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. Results may not apply to all children, and genetic findings may not lead to immediate clinical changes.
